Yan Xiaoxi was stomping her feet in anger. She felt as if her entire body was about to explode. The anger in her heart instantly surged to the brim.

At this moment, Bei Baixi appeared and witnessed everything. He asked in concern, "Xi, what happened?"

"Brother Bei, we don't have anything to eat tonight." Yan Xiaoxi said in disappointment.

"How about I take Xi out to eat?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaoxi jumped up in excitement, clapping her hands and shouting, "Okay."

In the blink of an eye, Yan Xiaoxi immediately went back on her word. She helplessly looked at Bei Baixi and muttered, "It's better not to leave the mansion."

Yan Xiaoxi still remembered what Nangong Zhen and the mysterious person had said, that Prince Lin's Mansion was relatively safe.

If he went out, he might not give Brother Bei any trouble.

Bei Baixi was surprised for a moment and was surprised by Yan Xiaoxi's transformation, but he still maintained his smile.

"Then I'll make it for you?" Immediately, Bei Baixi made another suggestion.

"Brother Bei can cook?" Yan Xiaoxi widened her watery eyes as she looked at Bei Baixi with admiration.

Bei Baixi nodded and did as he was told. He immediately made his move and walked into the kitchen under Yan Xiaoxi's gaze.

After entering, he first observed the entire kitchen, making it easy to operate.

After he finished his inspection of the kitchen's decorations and utensils, Bei Baixi continued to inspect the ingredients inside.

After they were all ready, Bei Baixi quickly started to cook.

Yan Xiaoxi stood aside, silently watching Bei Baixi's practice of cutting vegetables. He looked just like a professional tavern's chef; it was too dazzling.

At first, Yan Xiaoxi was worried that Bei Baixi was only kind enough to tell her that he wanted to cook for her and was worried about the taste of the dishes. But now, looking at his attitude, she knew that the dishes he cooked must be pretty good.

Thinking of this, Yan Xiaoxi couldn't help but swallow her saliva, because she was really too hungry.

Bei Baixi's speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, several delicious dishes were placed on the small table in the kitchen.

There were steamed fish, Crystal Shrimp Dumplings s, braised pork, and tofu with cabbage. There was also a bowl of tomato and egg soup.

"Eat." Bei Baixi placed the chopsticks in Yan Xiaoxi's hand.

Yan Xiaoxi couldn't hold back her drool any longer after receiving the chopsticks. She immediately picked up a piece of Red Braised Meat.

Fat but not greasy, with a moderate taste. It really was delicious.

Bei Baixi was very satisfied with Yan Xiaoxi's excited look.

The two chatted as they ate, talking and laughing merrily in the kitchen.

On the other side, the atmosphere in the room was extremely cold.

According to Nangong Lin's instructions, the butler secretly followed Yan Xiaoxi and reported everything that he had done to the prince.

"You said that Bei Baixi personally cooked for the wangfei?" Nangong Lin's voice was still ice-cold.

The steward, who had followed Nangong Lin for many years, knew that something was wrong.

The prince's expression and tone clearly meant that he was angry.

It was over. He could already imagine how the wangfei would suffer the wrath of his own prince.

Nangong Lin clenched his fists and left the room angrily. He treated the butler as if he was invisible.

The steward stood on the spot and wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly followed.

When Nangong Lin arrived at the kitchen, what he saw was a scene like this. Yan Xiaoxi had a Crystal Shrimp Dumplings in her mouth, it was Bei Baixi's favorite Crystal Shrimp Dumplings. With a smile on her face, she chatted with Bei Baixi.

Suddenly, Nangong Lin shifted his gaze away from the two of them. His gaze was fixated on Bei Baixi's dishes on the table. The color and appearance of the dishes were pretty good, giving people a feeling of appetite.

He never thought that the dignified crown prince of Beiyue Kingdom would actually know how to cook.

However, Yan Xiaoxi was hit by the fact that other skills couldn't be used, but could still be used to cook.

After eating her fill, Yan Xiaoxi and Bei Baixi went their separate ways. When she returned to her room, she did not see Nangong Lin.

After not seeing Nangong Lin for half a day, Yan Xiaoxi could not help but feel a little disappointed. However, this feeling only lasted for a short while.

Very quickly, she thought of the dinner. Her lost passion was instantly replaced by anger, and she scolded Nangong Lin countless times in her heart.

She glanced in the direction of the door, but there was no movement. She drank a cup of tea, ate a pastry, and was ready to go to bed.

After a while, Yan Xiaoxi fell asleep. Just as she was sleeping soundly, she heard a familiar voice sound out in her ear.

"Woman." This was a form of address that belonged solely to Nangong Lin.

Yan Xiaoxi, who was feeling sleepy, rolled over and pushed Nangong Lin away from her. "Go away, I want to sleep."

"Get up." With that, Nangong Lin dragged her out of the bed without caring about Yan Xiaoxi's objections.

Yan Xiaoxi rubbed her sleepy eyes as her vision gradually became clear. Immediately, she saw Nangong Lin's handsome face floating in front of her.

She looked at the mentally meaningful Nangong Lin and asked, "Linlin, what are you doing?"

"Get up and eat." Nangong pointed to the table.

Following Nangong Lin's line of sight, Yan Xiaoxi saw a strange thing on the table in the room. It was pitch black and she couldn't tell what it was at all.

"What is this?" Yan Xiaoxi couldn't help but wonder if she was dreaming. Could the food on the table really be eaten?

Was she hungry again? That was why she had had such a strange dream.

No, no, go back to sleep.

With that in mind, Yan Xiaoxi immediately lay down and closed her eyes, preparing to sleep again.

However, the moment she laid down, she was pulled up by a strong arm.

Yan Xiaoxi leaned on the bed and looked at Nangong Lin helplessly. She asked him, "I'm not dreaming."

"Of course." Nangong Lin nodded. He grabbed the coat by the bed and put it on Yan Xiaoxi's body. Then he pulled her up and brought her to the table.

Yan Xiaoxi was like a puppet, lifeless as she let Nangong Lin do whatever he wanted.

There were a total of four plates in front of her, but the food inside them was surprisingly consistent. They were all black, and it seemed like they had no appetite, not to mention, there was an urge to eat them.

"Linlin, stop tormenting me at night." Yan Xiaoxi looked at Nangong Lin with a wronged expression.

"It really can be eaten." Nangong Lin said solemnly.

Yan Xiaoxi's eyes were filled with suspicion as she asked again, "Really?"

Nangong Lin nodded with a serious expression. It was he who had promised Yan Xiaoxi courage.

"Alright, I'll try." Yan Xiaoxi was brave in front of food.

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of dumpling and slowly put it into her mouth before taking a bite.

The taste was indescribable, but Yan Xiaoxi could say that she would never forget tonight's meal.
